The short and sweet guide to compiling SVN 895 on Windows

[tojimaru]

When I do 'make' this is what I get.

Does anyone know why that happens? Or is that supposed to happen

rm CC

Your $PATH has . near the start of it.
Remove the . and it should work fine.

[tojimaru]

Where do I go to change the $PATH ?

Could someone help?

[MitSugna]

cross compile?

[tojimaru]

I don't understand what you mean. I just used msys on windows.

[tojimaru]

I'm sure we have people here who can help. But it's sad, that out of all the people here, no one will help me? Real nice. Just shows how great our community is. Or is it because I smell bad?

[MitSugna]

Sorry. I can compile it myself. But I can't tell what you are doing wrong.

[tojimaru]

I followed the instructions exactly how they were, and I keep getting this error

I just want to compile this, I've been wanting to for a very long time now

[gimhael]

The line in the original Makefile is for i in $(TARGETS); do echo "    $$i"; done, so apparently your $(TARGETS) is empty. This means you have to specify something to build, either by modifying the Makefile, or by passing it on the commandline, e.g. make BUILD_GAME_QVM=1.

Possible flags are: BUILD_MASTER_SERVER, BUILD_CLIENT, BUILD_SERVER, BUILD_GAME_SO and BUILD_GAME_QVM.

[tojimaru]

In the Makefile, there's a part that has "TARGETS =" and the rest is empty. Is that what I would have to modify or am I looking at the wrong part? and if it is the right part, what would I put in after the equals sign?

[gimhael]

No, the TARGETS var is built dynamically in the Makefile, there are vars called USE_xxx that you have to set to 1. If you want to build the qvms, you need only USE_GAME_QVM=1.

[tojimaru]

I don't see a USE_GAME_QVM var, but I tryed 'make BUILD_GAME_QVM=1' and I got the same error. I still don't understand what I'm doing wrong. 

[gimhael]

Yes, sorry, BUILD_GAME_QVM was correct. Now there is still the problem that MitSugna mentioned: The Makefile thinks you are cross-compiling and thus the QVM build is disabled. Make sure you don't have the environment variables $PLATFORM or $ARCH defined before you call make, or call make with the parameters PLATFORM=mingw32 ARCH=x86.

[tojimaru]

I did 'make PLATFORM=mingw32 ARCH=x86' and this time I got a different error.

[MitSugna]

There is a problem with your msys setup
With a proper MSYS setup you have access to everything(including gcc) in MinGW/bin (i.e. it is in PATH).

[tojimaru]

I installed MSYS-1.0.10.exe to C:\MSys, and then I installed MinGW-5.1.6.exe to C:\MSys\mingw and I extracted w32api-3.11.tar.gz to C:\MSys\mingw. Is there anything wrong with that? And I just want to say that I really appreciate the help I'm getting, thank you.

[kevlarman]

you need to install mingw first, then msys.

[MitSugna]

Order and Naming is not important but it helps a lot. ...

[tojimaru]

It works! What made it work was installing MinGW first, thank you all so much! You're all awesome.

can somebody plz help me i am stuck at: 9.) Download the latest Tremulous SVN code by opening a console, cd'ing to your MinGW home folder ('cd C:\MinGW\home\User'), and typing the SVN command:
svn co -r 895 svn://svn.icculus.org/tremulous/trunk Tremulous

i do not have the directory 'cd C;\MinGW\home\User'

9.) Download the latest Tremulous SVN code by opening a console, cd'ing to your MinGW home folder ('cd C:\MinGW\home\User'), and typing the SVN command:
svn co -r 895 svn://svn.icculus.org/tremulous/trunk Tremulous
(if you feel confident, you can remove the '-r 895' part to download the latest SVN, but safety is not guaranteed)

Isn't it spsed to be C:\msys\home\User ?

^ that was almost 2 years ago :<

[[ICP]ClownLove]
